Live Move – Vertical machines
Alignment is carried out by correcting angularity and offset.
l (1) Angularity corrections are made by shimming at the given bolt locations.
l (2) Offset corrections are made by moving the machine laterally.
Correcting angularity
It is recommended (but not obligatory) to correct angularity first:
1. Loosen the flange bolts then lift the movable machine.
WARNING
The machine bolts must be undamaged and removable.
2. Angularity corrections are made by shimming. The shimming values at the respective bolt
positions are shown on the screen. Insert (or remove) shims with the correct thickness under
the selected bolt. Loosen the flange bolts then lift the movable machine.
3. Tighten the bolts back down, then take another set of readings to confirm shimming cor-
rections; repeat shimming if necessary.
4. Once satisfied that overall angular misalignment is in tolerance, and no more shimming is
required, proceed to correct offset.
Correcting offset
1. Offset corrections are carried out using the Live Move function.
